Multicomponent polymer synthesis represents a transformative approach in modern macromolecular engineering. By incorporating three or more reactants in a single operational step, these techniques ...

A new technique builds inorganic and polymer battery electrolytes at the same time, in the same vessel. This 'one-pot' in-situ method creates a controlled, homogeneous blend, pairing the conductivity ...

Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven ...

Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerizations have emerged as a powerful and cost-effective approach for fabricating ultrathin polymer films with diverse functionalities. During this free ...

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

Machine learning (ML) models train on existing material-property data to predict these desired outcomes. Additionally, the team can generate new polymers, whose properties are forecasted with ML ...

Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts.

A new review argues that sustainable molecularly imprinted polymer sensors require lifecycle assessment, regeneration design ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University’s Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering have created an artificial polymer that self-organizes into a controlled helix, according to a study published ...

To address this issue, recent advances have focused on developing environmentally friendly and efficient methods for polymer degradation and recycling, with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) acting as ...

A new report titled ‘Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities, Production and Trends 2025–2030’ has been compiled by nova-Institute. The report forecasts that the expansion of the ...
